| Anime is riding high almost as it was in the 90's now but I feel like it's going to go down from here just as it had during the early to mid 00's. Anime will revert back to its uncool niche state and anyone who says they like it will be treated as an out of touch social pariah. Can it keep up its current nerd chic status? |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| Why do you want that? I want every woman to be familiar with anime characters so she can role play as them for me. |
 |
| I don't think so. Animes are touching more mature themes like bullying, socio-political issues, finding one's true passion, beauty of life etc. so no, I don't think so |

| Gen z likes it the most. It's over I'm sorry to say. It can only get worse from here like creating high guardian spice. |

I'm not sure anime is really all that mature to be honest. Most of the stuff coming out are branded PG-13, you know? There are some shows that try being a little more 'deep' even though most of them fail but they are not the norm nor will they really ever mangage to be, I think. Zankyou no terror is a good example for socio-political things. |

StenlyDesu said: You are completely right on this one but the thing is that these anime are exceptions and that was my point. Animes like these aren't commonly produced and thus, generally, anime is not targeted to mature individuals. Still. Animes are touching topics like bullying, suicide (Japan has high suicide rates), life |

StenlyDesu said: Rainbowsalt007 said: Still. Animes are touching topics like bullying, suicide (Japan has high suicide rates), life Toy Story has touched upon those too. Is it mature? No it isn't. The reason will be the way it was presented. Animes present this topic in more mature and realistic way. Also, it seems like our opinions don't match much so, i won't reply after this msg ^__^ |

| Anime is currently riding a bubble of growth and popularity, and is one of the best alternative forms of entertainment in the west. It already supplies a majority of the world's animation demand, so it'll become the new main thing in pop culture and will level off its growth and hopefully maintain its popularity and appeal for decades to come. |
So I've been banned from MAL-Badges, after spending nearly two years of my time and dedication to helping out, being the club's spokesperson, and planning for the revamp, it all goes down the fucking drain. What a joke the club has become. I advise everyone to stop using the feature and stop showing their support for the site and the club. We were promised that we will see changes come to the site, and nothing's been done for the past year. I doubt the site will be touched for the foreseeable future. If you're angry and annoyed about the lack of development, then good, you should be. |
| Hope it doesn't,since now more and more people are becoming a part of it |
 |
| I find anime to be really cool already and that's the most important to me. I don't care what the popular kids think is cooler. |
|Being a trend hopper doesn't really have much to do with wanting it to be popular (imo ofc) I feel like if anime becomes even more popular then it would lead to an increase in anime production probably not that much (since most of the rev comes from japanese viewers) but it's something. Laws of demand and supply and all that |
 |
| I feel like anime has reached the point where video games were a decade or two ago. The meteoric rise in popularity might slow down but I feel like a point of no return has been reached where anime will stay popular, at least for a decent amount of time. |

Did you check my profile? I'm as Millennial as it gets. If you even so much as go to wikipedia, you will know that anime suffered a huge dip in popularity after the Toonami 90's wave. Do try to keep up. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| The way they are releasing more and more isekais these days, it going to become uncool soon enough. |
  |
| Who cares about what cool and what is not? If something became a garbage with time then it still will be cool for millions of people due their personal regress people and vice versa. |

As ur wish, ok negro lol If u talk about US broadcast no wonder if ur statement like dis maybe this all about national policy itself but if look at from shounen view after dragon ball era there are plenty anime started from 2000 Naruto, Bleach, FMAB, Hitman Reborn, etc even hxh n one piece if included as late 1999 show |

Look, the world is more than just your own country and by and large anime didn't have the staying power as yours. It's not just the US we're talking about. The sooner you realize Indonesia =/= the world the less likely you come off as a fool. |

| I don't think it was ever "cool" to be into anime, but it has definitely entered more mainstream circles. It's definitely less of a "Wow, you're into anime? That's so cool!" like the doomer meme, and more of a "Oh, hey, I've seen something like that before... Norobo? Nortbo?" sort of thing. As a side note, I really don't think anybody, except for a few individual cases, gets outcasted for just being mildly interested in something niche. It's when that person starts parading it around more and more that people unfamiliar get annoyed and throw them out. It's all about others' tolerance, and not your enjoyment. |

But wouldn't you say the normalization implies that it's no longer weird which means it's cool? Video games went the same development. |

| Anime is cool in some parts of internet culture.. It also was cool in schools since like Dragon Ball Z times already.. Is it cool now in schools?.. No idea.. Among older people - older people don't really try anime at all.. |

Something being cool implies that it's desirable to the majority, and I wouldn't say being an anime fan is exactly desirable lol. Also wouldn't really say playing video games is cool either, but all the same. |
| probably not, at least where I live it’s not a exaggeration to say a majority of teens and young adults watch anime |
 |
| hopefully not. It will be very sad if this is the case |
 |
| It won't. Anime wasn't so popular, because many people couldn't even hear, that anime exist. Now we have more metods to watch it.

| The pandora's box is open so I don't think it'll ever close again. I see ppl having anime stickers on their cars everywhere I go |
| desu desu binches |
| It'll never be like it was in 90s to mid 00s, even if popularity of anime decreases people will still be familiar with it |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| We just need to push for more boku no pico awareness and get anime 'cancelled' in the mainstream. Then we can once again enjoy it in the shadows. |
No. In fact, it is becoming cooler. Let's see if Goku agrees with me: I mean, if Netflix is on board with anime, everyone is. |
| Like most MAL threads I can just ask based on what? The world of the late 2000's or the other decades you are talking about like the 90s were entirely different from now. |
| I'm just waiting for all the hype to die down. I've been watching this stuff for pretty much my whole life, and since a large majority of people I grew up with strayed away from it, it was kind of like this hidden gem I could keep to myself and a small number of other people. Things were much calmer back then, especially because there were no whining woke twitter monkeys that complained about everything and attacked members of the community for retarded reasons. |
